Let’s talk about Reasoning

Course date: 11th Jun 2024

This day will be an opportunity to think and talk about mathematical reasoning and its importance in the teaching and learning of mathematics.

We will explore:

  • What we mean by reasoning and why we need to develop it;
  • How to communicate our reasoning both orally and in written form;
  • How to develop the language we need to communicate our reasoning;
  • Ways to give learners the opportunity to reason in all maths lessons;
  • How to improve reasoning skills;
  • Practical ideas to be used in the classroom.

The course aims to give participants a clearer idea of what reasoning looks like in the classroom and some top tips for teaching it.
